M. Russell Ballard on the Importance of Receiving Answers to Questions, Not Relying Upon Testimony and Spiritual Experiences Merely

  

Ten days later he returned to my office, and I was ready. I pulled out my papers to start answering his questions, but he stopped me.

 

"President," he said, "that isn't going to be necessary." Then, with tears in his eyes, he explained, "I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God."

 

I said, "That's wonderful news, Elder, but you're going to get answers to your questions anyway. I worked a long time on this, so you just sit here and listen." (M. Russell Ballard, "That We Might Know," BYU-Hawaii Devotional, January 25, 2001)
